Adisa May was created so you can have access to exceptional natural products. Our intention is to offer you opportunities to deepen your connection with your skin, yourself and the Earth

Our products are therefore meant to be ritualistic, asking you to slow down, pause and soak in those moments of peace and self-connection you are so deserving of.

Our potions put nature and your skin’s health first. They are vibrant and alive, with their colourful hues, subtle herbal scents and nutrient dense ingredients that the skin craves.

In 2024, I left my career as a lawyer to create Adisa May Skincare.

As someone who has experienced varying degrees of skin hypersensitivity since they were a child, I was determined to create a skincare line for those with more sensitive constitutions.

I spent many long months in both an intensive research and formulation phase, studying cosmetic science and learning corneotherapy concepts.

Throughout these phases, it became very apparent to me what the skincare industry was missing for those of us with more sensitive constitutions.

A line that is deeply rooted in spirituality, bringing ritual and botanical-sensory-based formulas. Bright colours, ingredients that are aromatic without being overpowering, essential oils, if any, used in low concentrations, and gentle natural ingredients that lean towards biocompatibility with our skin.

Once I created these thoughtfully crafted potions, I knew the next step would be to share it with our customer’s beautiful skin.

I know what it’s like to be a canary in the coal mine. I recovered from a condition called ‘limbic system dysfunction’ (LSI) when I was in law school. My brain was stuck in a fight/flight/freeze trauma loop and began to identify almost everything in my environment as a threat.

The condition caused me to experience a wide range of symptoms including hyper sensitive skin reactions, including eczema, hives that wouldn’t heal, rashes, and break-outs.

My journey to healing though started as a young girl. At that time, I was experiencing eczema that was very aggravated by synthetic fragrances in skin and hair products. My parents began to take me yearly to see our former master herbalist and when I was older, a naturopath.

By the time I was a young adult, I began to self-study the world of plant medicine. During this time, I was also indulging in homemade hair and skin rituals using ingredients from my own kitchen like honey, clays, herbs, oils and salts.

My self-study also took me down enlightening rabbit holes that led me to brain re-wiring practices like “The Dynamic Neural Retraining System”, Dr. Joe Dispenza’s meditations, and visualization to heal my nervous system and skin.

By 2023, I began to undergo a radical spiritual transformation and practicing law felt deeply misaligned. I needed to redirect my energy to formulating healing remedies for the body, mind, skin and soul. It was time for me to pursue my destiny.

Adisa May Skincare has therefore become a cumulation of my life experiences, experimentation, knowledge, passion, research and study.

With that, I bring to the world, Adisa May Skincare. A business founded out of pure love, passion and joy. It is a space where you can completely submerse yourself in self-love, self-care, beauty and tranquility.

When I was creating Adisa May, I would always say “this is bigger than skincare” and it is. It’s about slowing down, nourishment, healing, and deepening your connection with yourself.

To every beloved customer and supporter, thank-you for making this vision a reality.

With the deepest gratitude,
